NEW GUINEA PEOPLE.
H~Ospitable uni and Myster1ou
Tribes That Have Tails.

HOSpitable Cannibals and Mysterious
Tribes That Have Tails.
The Rev. James Chalmers, for many
years a missionary in New Guinea, has
written an interesting book. about that
country. Port Moresby, the headquar-
tiers of the mission, is picturesquely stu
ated in Motuland. The highest peak Of
the Owen Stanley mountains, 1890 feet
high, pierces the clouds in the back
ground. The Motu people, num-
bering about 1000, are the chief
trading people. The women are very
skillful in the manufacture of pottery,
which the men annually load on latakois,
rats consisting of several canoes fastened
together, with a sail, and carry to the
westward, where they barter it for sagO,
arms, bells, and other articles of Papuan
desire. Mr.. Chalmers gives a humorous
account of one of these trading voyages
which he accompanied. The natives are
very superstitious, and carried good wind
and favorable weather medicine with
them, in addition to which incantations
were gone through to drive away the
spirits of slaughtered enemies, who were
supposed to be lowering about and him
dering the voyage.
Most kindly was Mr.. Chalmers received
wherever he went, ever by the cannibal
tribe of kaipua. The day of his arrival
among this people he ate his dinner in
an open-air temple; and we can quite
accept his word when he says he would
have enjoyed it better ::if there had not
been SO many skulls in a heap close by,
some OF which were tolerably new"
Some OF the customs of the people are
very curious. Rubbing of noses is the
common form of %salutation, and as the
Papuans delight in a liberal ornamental
ton OF their faces with paint of various
colors, and this paint easily rubs off, Mr..
Chalmers countenance, after he had
been introduced to and rubbed noses
with a number of new acquaintance,
frequently astonished himself when seen
IN a mirror. A father takes the name of
a son and a mother of a daughter. Many
houses for women are built on the tops
OF trees, and assembled to by means
OF a ladder. Some of the coast
people build their houses on piles,
and live over the water. Women are
generally better treated on the coast than
inland, where they are often speared or
dubbed to death for the slightest offense.
ihere are various signs by which a care
ful observer can tell when meeting with
a party of natives whether they are hos
tile or friendly. For instance: if cocka-
toos feathers, which are popular adorn-
ments, are worn in front of the head, as
is usual, it is a good sign if at the back
or side of the head danger is brewing.
Liza b%etel-nut is presented to a newcomer
thick end first, all is we'll; if thin end
first, look out p
Mr.. Chalmers heard of three wonder
full tribes living inland. One race re-
sembles the ancient Cyclops in having a
single eye, placed in the middle of the
forehead. Nature has been very liberal
to another; their ears are so large that
they serve the purpose of blankets. They
lie down on n and cover themselves
over with the other. The Darwinians
should send out an expedition to dis
cover the people.

full tragedy of Launcelot. I hesitate ever
to write it for fear some fiend will sent
the papert to her marked.
Let me be brief with it. 1t is the sick
ening experience of many a man who
loves dogs.
When the cry of mad dog was raised
the crowd fell back. Somebody made 6
cruel dash at him with a cart rung. II
struck him on the head. Stunned and
suffering, he started with a cry. His first
impulse was to look for his mistress and
he made several leaps toward women
who were similarly dressed. They one
and all threw up their hands in terror
and screamed, and a heavy German from
a beer wagon who wore enormous boots
planted a kick on the side of Launcelot's
head that threw him off his feet.
Then the dog, as if trying to compre,
bend what had happened, pulled himself
together and turned his big, wild,
brown eyes with a wondering pathos
upon the crowd. He saw nothing there
but the awful cruelty of terror. That
sudden instinct of fear which wakes up
in moments of extreme danger in the
lowest brute was almost like a flash of
reason in this noble animal. 1t told him
his time had come, inexplicably and like
a flash. That love and kindness had fled
that every mans hand was against him
that after having been daintily bred and
u~nreasonably petted and stroked by
every gloved hand that passed him in the
hey-day morning, he must have the life
kicked and beaten out of him in the pitt
less afternoon.
Let me go away" he seemed to say,
II will hurt nobody; only let me get away
from these merciless faces as quick as
possible"
He ran as we'll as he could through the
crowd toward the cornero of T~wenty-third
street. The moment he was in an open
space of the sidewalk, a cobble-stone
struck him OF the flank with crushing
force, breaking several bones. With a
sharp wall of pain he started down
Twenty-third street. But the hue and
cry was out. Mad dog" resounded on
all sides. Terror-stricken and wounded
he ran limpingly, pursued by men and
boys. Women and children darted into
stores, missiles fell thick, he turned the
S~ixth-avenue mad now with pain, in the
full frenzy of animal desperation, and
fell at last under a policeman's bullet.
beaten out of shape, into the gutter at
Twenty-tirst street.-the tasseled cord,
mud-soaked and bloody, buried in the
once glossy chestnut hair.
The next year my divinity showed a
leaning towards mastiffs.
/ encouraged this bias as adroitly as !
could. The mastiff is the Saxon among
dogs. But it was at the Bench Show OF

She bought the skye terrier and calledi it
Modjeska.
We went to live at Spring Valley that
summer in a cottage that was much too
small. We had not been there a month
before Modjeska began to exhibit her
subtle influence on the whole of Rock
land county. Modjeska was the only
canine we saw for thirty days. Then

horizontal and tremulous, his eyes set,
his head down, his legs rigid. The
crowd parted and flowed on each side as
a stream parts when it encounters a rock.
Now, Launcelot, remember" said the
sweetest of her sex, Juggling with a TWEEN
ty-four-button glove at the tasseled cord.
Then she dropped it suddenly, as a
fearful thought flashed upon her mind.
"He's got the hy%drophobia."
In such crises a divinity has n re-
course. She cannot faint on a sidewalk
at three o'clock, because it is not clean,
and they'd call an ambulance. So she
lifts up her t~wenty-four button glove
with a Hogarthean curve and murmurs
"Get me a coupe"
In the electric response of fifteen stall
wart drivers with whips, there is sure to
be one Irishman who knows all about
dogs, and he says:
"Be COB, marin, Oh think he's par
alyzed."
But in the press of onlookers is sure
to be one fiend who never had but two
devil-instigated duties in life--one is to
cry fire in a crowded theatre, and the
other is to cry mad dog on a crowded
sidewalk.
That settled i.
My divinity came home confused, dis
consulate, hysterical in a coupe.
She knew nothing definite, except that
Launcelot had the apoplexy OF something
on Broadway and / was to 60 after him.

there appeared to be a congress of dogs.
They came from all points of the COM
pass. "Yaller' dogs traversed my paths,
looked in at my windows; lean hounds
sat in the road on their launches and
howled. Small hybrids crept under the
fence and Newfoundlands jumped it.
Mongrels of all sizes sat in a circle round
my otherwise sequestered abode in the
morning and made hellish yule that was
unlike anything on earth except a tran
scription by Jerome Hopkins. And Mod
jeska upon a silk cushion in the bay win
dow surveyed the scene with conscious
feminine triumph.
fortunately Modjeska died suddenly
of fatty degeneration of the heart and
Was buried hurriedly in her ribbons un-
der a fiat stone.
And then came my experience with
the truly masculine dog, the tenacious,
the stalwart, the uncomfortable. We had
acottage thirty miles up the Hudson, and
in our afternoon outings we M day en-
countered as we were crossing a field a
magnificent stock bull at large. He put
down his horns and let out his thunder.
The women screamed and we all made
for the fence like the wind. I remember
that the divinity performed a feat of
agility then and there that would have
done credit to Blondin. She never got
over that five-barred gate. She just lit
OVERT. Safely down the road, my indigna-
ton assumed proper proportions. "It's
an outrageous, Internal shame that these
pagan rustics should be allowed to put
their Infatuated beasts into fields where
visitors are continually wandering. |
shall see about it; the thing needs
looking into. By Jove, I'll show these
benighted %clodhoppers that human life is
of some value" / think the women
were just beginning to feel sorry for the
owner of the bull, and a little proud of
having a man with them who knew what
his rights were, when some one exclaimed
20, there; he's got through the fence and
is coming down the road"
Ii there is anything incompatible with
outraged dignity, it is headlong speed OIL
a stony highway.
However, this is the upshot. I wrote
to Harry Jennings to get me a bull dog
no bull terrier, a regular out-and-out
bang-up bull eater. I mean to see if a
quiet country gentleman could be torn
to pieces on the highway; two could
play at that game, at all events.
| think the idea was suggested to me
by the divinity herself, who, after that
long run and magnificent leap, had struck
